I won!

I almost forgot! I won a contest. The Over-Thinker did a yarnification beauty pageant, and I totally entered it.

With this picture.

She did an awesome job yarnifying me. My hair never looked better! I actually voted for FriYet, because her hair looked so cabbage patch life like. It was amazing! For the contest post see here. For the results post see here. I think the most awesome part was the fact that I had no idea what in the heck it was that I won. A recipe deck for Tapas. What? Evidently my English is a little rusty. So The Over-Thinker was sweet to explain it to me in an email.

A recipe deck is basically a funky form of a cookbook. Instead of pages, there are cards. Tapas is the Spanish word for Hot or Cold Spanish appetizers. The deck is divided into different categories (seafood, tomatoes, etc.) and is easy to reference.

ohmigosh! I laughed so hard when I followed the links! You DEFINITELY deserved the win! I think the teeth put it over the top. And puppy is adorable, with or without the yarnifying. Tapas are all the rage over here. At least it is on the west coast of Florida. I haven't seen anything, now that I think of it, on the east coast (we just moved). Anyway, over on the west coast there were several restaurants that specialized in tapas. The idea is that a group of people orders several tapas and they share. In the restaurants, they are expensive, small appetizers. Usually highly spiced with garlic and herbs. I think you'll probably have fun with your recipe deck. Maybe you'll even do a taste post with pictures of your kids' reactions like you did before.

vodka mom - thanks!

mamadallama - thanks! i know...those teeth were awesome! i seem to recall hearing someone say they went to a tapas bar and got very little food for quite a bit of money. i just didn't listen too hard to them since tapas bar was not in my vocabulary! i do need to do another taste test. i've given my kids enough time to get over the last few i think!
